Does the remote need to be in line of sight of the unit or will it work through a thin wall? Thanks.

En ocaciones detecta la señal del control remoto, en otras no, de la misma manera se comporta el detector de movimiento, aveces detecta otras no... En síntesis es un producto de baja calidad

it will works through a thin wall if the remote is very close to the sensor

I am not sure about a wall, but we had it in the carport and kept the remote in the livingroom. There was a wall between them, but also two large windows with blinds and it worked well.

Line of sight. Please beware of the "keyboard" on the remote: it will not last long if it's in you pocket -- due to its ridiculously thin design (keys & change rubbing against the keyboard will rapidly kill key input). Extremely bad design. GE should be ashamed.

The remote is a direct line of sight so the remote has to point directly at the sensor. That being said mine has worked at about 4-8 feet away.

The remote to base will work over a great distance but the base unit and the device being controlled, the DTV box must be in close proximity because base to DTV is an IR link.

We use ours installed in a box. There is no line of sight. (we can't even see it up inside the box of electronics) It works great for us like that, but we are using it from probably less than 5 ft. away.

from what i know it needs line of sight. it uses Ir. just like a TV you need to point the ir sensor for it to work.

My remote works approximately 100' from the unit. If you are getting significantly less then that, you may have some RF shielding close to the unit. Move the unit away from any large or metal grounded structures or equipment such as metal garage doors, water heaters, HVAC units, etc.

The remote is Infra Red so it will not work through a door and, yes, you do need a clear path to the receiver.

You can get as close to wall as you wish. I have focused the device as close as 2 feet.

Wall penetration is going to be hard for me to answer, a lot factors in with that such as materials. My living room is about 20ft long and I have no issues anywhere using it. I would assume that if your 360 remote reaches so will this. I was pleased with mine, after having concerns based on price. The connection seems really responsive and the battery last fairly well (will go dead slowly while off).

The system works with radio frecuency, line of sight is not necessary but concrete, brick or other very dense wall materials do limit its wireless range. The system has a range of well over 150ft. In line of sight conditions.

It does not have to be in line of sight. I use mine from indoors to outdoors. The range is quite good, at least 50 to 60 feet and even more in line of sight.

SORRY for the late response, but the unit shud be aty least 2 feet from any wall

No it does not need a line of site. I live in a mobile home and I was in bedroom at one end of house with the remote pointing at back wall (opposite of thermostat), and with thermostat located in middle of home approximately 30ft away the device worked flawlessly numerous times. So to answer your question, it does work through walls and no you do not need a direct line of site to opperate

The remote works whether you can see the outlet or not. I have mine behind my sectional sofa. I was unable to get to easily reach the light in the corner behind the sofa. I used this to plug my lamp into. It works perfectly. I can turn the light on and off using the remote. As far as working through walls, it does in my house. I went as far as the guest room about 25-30 ft away, closed the door and was able to turn the light on and off. I use the other outlet plug ins for my Christmas tree and lights. They make life so easy. You won't regret them. Hope this helps.

I have mine in the family room and it has to go through a brick wall that surrounds the patio as well. Once in awhile it does not go off. But other than that it works great. But it should work if its not to far from the transmitter.

If I am in sight I can walk to the far side of the room and it works fine(~30ft). However if I walk 15ft and turn the corner it cuts out. I am able to get decent signal through the wood panel wall at a close distance. This was good enough for me, so I am satisfied with a cheap unit like this. Hope that helps!

It really depends on how far you want to transmit. It works great within the room, regardless of line of sight. You might get some chop if you get outside of the room depending on where you have the receiver. Mine is buried behind a heavy wood dresser, so it doesn't like when I go too far outside the room. I'm thrilled with mine though, it's perfect for my purposes.
